Rose Martinis are a beautiful and delicious addition to a relaxing afternoon in the garden or poolside.  They are so beautiful and tasty, the also make wonderful beverages for special events. 

I am so happy to be sharing a now-favorite recipe for spring...

Violet Shortbread Cookies with Lemon Glaze 

I am known among family and friends for my Almond Shortbread Cookies around Christmas time.  There's not been a year skipped since my girls were young, and I don't intend to stop either!

The beauty of spring and violets are here, and for several years I've been wanting to try my hand at cooking with the essence and flavoring of violets.  

I have built my business based on the principle of defining and creating my own beauty.  And then making a business of it.  And also, I have built my business in hopes of inspiring others.  Therefore, the Victoria publication is a perfect match for me to showcase my knowledge, and my idea of a beautiful and useful thing.
